lpv:translated text	"Mr Kaczmarek spoke earlier about the protests in 2008. Two years have passed since then and we do not even know today how many people were detained, how many were arrested and, subsequently, how many were perhaps released. We do know what these people were doing: they were participating in a peaceful demonstration, waving Tibetan flags or distributing pamphlets. It is shocking that two years after these protests, we do not know exactly how many of these people were involved in the action and punished by the Communist Party. Indeed, I am concerned about the Chinese Communist Party’s interference in the independent operation of the justice system by requesting people’s arrests and rapid convictions. National security cannot be used as grounds for abolishing fundamental civil rights. I also want to take this opportunity to emphasise the need to adopt a common European position on human rights and the protection of minorities in China. If we fail to adopt such a position, we know what happens. We have seen it in the past where Chinese Communist leaders try to intimidate EU Member States individually. I would like to end by reiterating the position which I also expressed during the January plenary, namely, that dialogue on human rights is an instrument which has proved to be ineffective and inadequate. I believe that this issue must be dealt with during summit meetings. In fact, Catherine Ashton admitted yesterday during the meeting we had as part of the Committee on Foreign Affairs that the approach based on human rights dialogues needs to be reviewed. I agree with the High Representative in this regard."@en1
